She was a divorced mother of two children, pregnant with a child she could not have because her religious parents would kick her out of their home. She feared them but she also needed their support, needed a home for her children and for herself. <br /><br />Leaving my friend, Linda, at this motel, seemed really wrong at the time. I worried about her because I knew it was illegal. My own naivete then makes me cringe now. Nontheless, I picked her up at the prescribed time and drove her back to spend the night with a bunch of Colorado State University students who shared a house. We were five women who opened our home to this woman who needed to catch a break. She told her parents that she was going out with us and would return the next morning. <br /><br />In the middle of the night, back in Fort Collins CO, after massive bleeding, when I had to take her to the emergency room and when she ended up in surgery and ICU, I became vividly aware of reproductive issues. <br /><br />I also know what it's like to deliver babies. I have delivered 7 full term babies because the doctors were not around. I know how important these children are to their mothers. I'm proud to say that I delivered them despite the fact that the doctors failed to show up in time. Both moms and dads have thanked me in so many touching ways. <br /><br />And finally, I have had patients that know this: <br />that they cannot afford another child, <br /><br />they cannot have another child because of the status of their health, <br /><br />their baby was a stillbirth but at 14 and because the father of their baby was their own biological father, family members told her she can have another child, <br /><br />their pregnancy is killing her because she has become a very brittle, pregnancy-induced diabetic, <br /><br />her mental status is so fragile because she was abused by her uncle or priest or brother<br /><br />her partner has infected her with some/several STI(s)<br /><br />I could continue this list but won't. Suffice it to say that the fuctards on the streets adjacent to abortion clinics don't get it, don't want to get it, don't want to know the complexities of women's lives. <br /><br />I'll stop. But not without saying this: Thank God Almightly for Women and Men who respect women enough to show them the compassion they so richly deserve. To All Abortioneers and their Supporters, I am shouting from the rafters a Big Thanks.Moral Pilgrimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05825660887187670239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6387757235421993128.post-63802204019634019742010-04-05T15:39:25.486-04:002010-04-05T15:39:25.486-04:00Thank you.

Actually, several mothers (including one of our bloggers) have explicitly told me that having children made them more pro-choice than ever because they realized how hard motherhood is, and how hard it is to do well, and how much harder those things are if you are not ready and happy to be having a child.placenta sandwichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14729355361057625131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6387757235421993128.post-84049366098052989792010-04-05T10:26:27.371-04:002010-04-05T10:26:27.371-04:00thanks for what you do. . .if only we could xerox ...thanks for what you do. . .if only we could xerox youAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
